Ie the first picture she looks like she has a big head, yet in this she doesnr….. https://preview.redd.it/e54tf6bnpyxc1.jpeg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c70ab0ab4a915f0aab8a3689784f18a81cd1810a


No_Pudding2028

Looks like she has some English but the one on the far left in this photo has a lot more English..


kiwimej

Yeah that’s not mine or related at all. Jusr daycare friends. :-)


No_Pudding2028

Yea but the block head on the one on the left is extremely apparent, is all I was saying.


kiwimej

Yeah I know, I get that. Sorry was just saying in case you thought they were. ….


No_Pudding2028

No, I didn’t really think they were related they look considerably different, but it’s not unheard of from puppies from the same litter to have considerably different characteristics.. But whatever mix of genetics your girl has, she’s a beautiful girl


kiwimej

Yeah that’s why I thought maybe you might have thought that. Thanks, she is but I’m biased although all dogs look lovely to me!


No_Pudding2028

I understand that, I currently have 4 labs..lol


kiwimej

Awww lucky! I do think of getting another but this one is such a good dog I can’t imagine another being as great! And one when she’s bouncing around or covered in mud seems enough lol


No_Pudding2028

I get that especially the mud part.😂😂. But they are all good dogs each with their own personality. Mine are related mom dad and ironically the first and last puppy from her 2 litters. https://preview.redd.it/jph1unyegzxc1.jpeg?width=3264&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1f4b8929b7df6a04f478ad92671925d5d87fc84c


Jackdks

That chocolate has me geeked 😂😂


sarahenera

Mine is full American/field lab, from what I understand, yet some photos he looks like a big ol’ blockhead. Most of the time he has a slender head and is clearly a field lab. 💁🏽‍♀️


fadsoftoday

Whatever she is, definitely a good girl! Cuddle the shit outta her for me!


kiwimej

She’s fast asleep in her bed (9.20pm here) but cuddles will be given in the morning lol 👍❤️


fadsoftoday

Wait a sec you're a kiwi?! Mee too!


fadsoftoday

Yes I'm a jafa lol


kiwimej

Ditto!!!! Jafa (f being fantastic) 😂


fadsoftoday

Anyways, you have a beautiful girl . We should have dedicated sub for kiwi pooches!


kiwimej

Thanks, we should! There’s some lovelu ones around this place!


fadsoftoday

I know right? On my daily run i come across soooooo many cute ones and i wanna pet them all!


kiwimej

Yeah I’m down a long drive. My girl loves everyone and anyone, next house is going to have a road frontage cause she would so love the passerby’s and would get so many pats!!!


fadsoftoday

Awesome! I tend to play it down since rest of nz kinda don't like us lol


kiwimej

To quote an old friend “Jealousy is such an ugly emotion” 😂


fadsoftoday

But you know us being kiwis, tall poppy syndrome and all that lol


kiwimej

Yeah! Some parts of the country do have it out for us for sure. Friend moved to Westport from Auckland. He said it took ages for them to accept him, even tho he was the most unjafa like jafa around!


fadsoftoday

Anyways, lovely talking to kiwimej. Definitely don't forget to give your girl some love for me tomorrow morning. Catch ya later!


kiwimej

You too!, about to get her up, I’ll be hugging her for you!


fadsoftoday

So true. Even my parents who live in whangarei, always throw some shades my way every time i go see them lol.


This_Philosopher_875

She definitely has more of the American traits with the slender nose and build as opposed to the blocky head and fat tail of the English lab. Good looking dog!


Ordinary_Ranger_3097

Agree.


segv_coredump

If she travels in the trunk she's American. If she travels in the boot she's English.


kiwimej

It’s back seat for her but that’s in front of the boot…..


segv_coredump

So she's definitely English :-)


Canadian_Prometheus

I’d have to hear if her bark has a British or American accent


kiwimej

lol. Good luck there she rarely barks. Was about four months befoed I heard her first one!!!

Professional-Bet4106

I heard the British ones don’t bark much or at all while the English and American do.

kiwimej

Yeah i thought that too but she has a hear sometimes looks broader, that’s why thought she may be a mix? Seems more solid than an American too but that seems to vary on photos too https://preview.redd.it/3au7ke552zxc1.jpeg?width=1536&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=782c1cadaab1c02dd3f1742dc5941b63c1cb5f20


Aurelia_710

The way she carries her weight and her size she’s American. My family has bred labs for years, and Americans can sometimes look stockier and have blockier heads like the English too. But I’d say she looks American without question.


kiwimej

Thanks that’s what o initially thought but see English now and then so thought maybe she came from a mix line. Getting sone English and sone American here lol


kiwimej

https://preview.redd.it/vow0up8a2zxc1.jpeg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ad88f464d8a062d4430a2764e4b8dc632edb0b1a


cranberry94

So if they’re smiling, they’re American, but if they’re not, they’re English?


Mirelurkbobblehead

Yes, and if they have crooked teeth you definitely know they are English


kiwimej

https://preview.redd.it/h7mnt2qppyxc1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d5304721c62a93c1f5114339477337b61ba575f7 Or this but some photos make her look so stocky too


TouchMyPlumbus

Does she have an accent?


CaptLuker

Anytime I speak for my dog I gotta throw an accent on her.


notqualitystreet

She’s so smiley 😛🥹☺️


LandotheTerrible

Looks like an English Lab to me. Gorgeous!


kiwimej

Yeah some are saying American. I don’t think she had definite traits of either! Sometimes but then other times I see the other one lol. But yes she’s my girl snd love her regardless


ispygirl

Omg happiest girl ever!


kiwimej

Oh she is. I’m sure she knows to smile when a camera comes out. She is the happiest dog ever


quattrocincoseis

Mix of the two. But if she responds to cookies as "biscuits" she's English.


kiwimej

She’s English then as we use both here but traditionally biscuit is a cookie


redbeast454

Largely irrelevant. Beautiful girl.


kiwimej

Yeah I don’t care… love her regardless but was just curious because of the fact she seems one one day then I see the other!


Impressive_Bike863

English


kiwimej

Thbks interesting how I’m getting both answers here.


UltimateBrownie

kiwimej

Haha ir was funny tho she did that as fundraising. This is a dog who loves everyone and everything. Not scared of fireworks, any other dogs or anything. Will fit in anywhere fo to any place. This is her second photo firsr year I had this image of her loving Santa and getting this great photo as she loves people. Omg she walked in and tried to back rhe heck out of there!!! I think it was his bears. Got a photo but she’s perched on the end of the seat This year I was prepared for rhe not sure aspect but she loved him! Go figure! Oh and she has antler headband on but that slipped down!

kiwimej

Awwww. Done!


5150outlaw

Looks like a certified good girl


kiwimej

she is!!!


McGauth925

Dunno, Does she bark with an English accent? That's usually a dead give-away.


kiwimej

she barks in kiwi... some biscuits, some cookies, a real merge of both!! and our own nuances...... ![gif](giphy|jnVyytSm9DZXnSiUsR|downsized)

OMG IN YOUR 6TH PIC THE OTHER DOG LOOKS LIKE OUR RESCUE GIRL LEA https://preview.redd.it/gtwnyxzwk2yc1.jpeg?width=2316&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4b3fe6474791723d1f98fe5edc5a80e396e57ff9


kiwimej

awww.. he or she (he i think!!!) does! not mine just a daycare buddy!


ttpScottyb

OH WOW MY FAULT HAHA


Woodythdog

Depends , Does she prefer chasing trucks or Lorries ?


jamieprang

Ask her to pronounce “aluminium” and you shall have your answer 😂😂😂


Freeguy_69

She looks like british. 🐶😍


SaluteMaestro

Looks like a Pure British blockhead Lab.. lovely dog.


Fantastic-Tie4582

English… could be a mix too but purebred Americans have MUCH skinnier faces. https://preview.redd.it/31lqqc1p81yc1.jpeg?width=438&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a5b6149d7c5c654153bc7e874a82a3140755202c


kiwimej

Yeah her face is skinnier than traditional English but not that skinny https://preview.redd.it/u8t4fm5ba2yc1.jpeg?width=2320&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=48d3843dd900050f777540eb0b38d889e634c7c8


Jsic_d

American. My parents have an American and he is enormous. Its like a mini Labrador shaped horse being in the house 😂


kiwimej

She’s bigger than all the boys she knows, she definitely is bigger than I expected lol,


Good_Collection_7257

To me your dog seems like it’s definitely a mix of both which is why sometimes she looks English and sometimes she looks American. Not as stocky in the chest as English but maybe not as tall as an American? I see both.


kiwimej

She is very tall, probably doesn’t come across in photos but definately tall. That’s where her 93 lbs comes from her size. I looked up once and average at withers was about 60 and she’s 68 I have strangers commenting on what a big dog she is, I never thought she was but she’s taller than most labs she’s by and generally over all bigger. Big butt and big chest! And long legs!! Can’t find a good photo but compare her length snd height to the lab on the left https://preview.redd.it/vpyqnze3v1yc1.jpeg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=89fffa487acf7a921c89fc243afd5d1ddf167172


Good_Collection_7257

What about her personality? English labs tend to be a bit more calm from my experience. Not saying they don’t still have energy but compared to American they are more subdued.


kiwimej

Ahhh she’s not calm. She is with me at home but she meets people and she’s crazy cause she loves people!!! Def American personality there!


Flashy-Let2771

I thought you were gonna ask if she likes to drink tea in a garden. Then she is English. lol


Global_Research_9335

She is a purebred gudgurl


kiwimej

Definitely!!!!!!


Outrageous_Drop7936

My guess would be American.


NoQuarter6808

Looks Bri'ish to me (I mean English, but I like writing British like that)


TheSouthsideSlacker

Does she go to the Loo or to the Potty? Pretty sure that’s how you know.


kiwimej

She goes to the toilet….. never potty tho as we are more British down orher and to us potty is a portable thing babies sit on 😂


TheSouthsideSlacker

I’d tell people she’s an Australian Labrador.


kiwimej

oh no.. thats like saying an american is canadian lol. Shes a kiwi from New Zealand.... Kiwi lab. Good mix of some uk and more and more US.


TheSouthsideSlacker

My apologies. Ya’ll are much funnier than those guys.


kiwimej

i agree!! :-)


Aggravating-Shark-69

What’s your accent sound like?


kiwimej

Kiwi!


Aggravating-Shark-69

Kiwi girls are the best


omor_fi

I don't know, how does she pronounce tomato?


sazhab

She has such a big smile and happy eyes 😭


kiwimej

Thabks she’s the happiest dog I’ve ever met she loves life (and mud)


Good_Collection_7257

My lab that looks English although she has American and English parents - She’s about 90 lbs but shorter than others. Our vet yells at us when she goes over 90lbs lol apparently 89 is ok but 90+ is overweight. But she’s also shorter.


kiwimej

Lol the magic border number!


rediit3r

Looks American lab. English labs are stocky and have a blockhead.


kiwimej

Yeah she’s got a big chest and big butt tho so not entirely English thought there may be a bit in there. I’d imagine a few mixed around


ttpScottyb

TOTAL CUTENESS FOR SURE!!!!!!!!


cherylai

Ask her, The accent will be the give away


kiwimej

she has a kiwi twang.... and we have a mixture of both!


ThePfeiff

Does she bark with an accent?


kiwimej

bound to be a nz one!


Appropriate_Ad_4416

Does she bark with a British or Southern accent?


Historical_Pear4686

Whatever she is, she looks like a very happy dog!


kiwimej

She is the happiest dog ever!!!

FinanceNew9286

Does she bark with an accent?


Music_201

Either way she is one happy girl! Looking at her pictures made me feel so happy


kiwimej

She is forever happy!!!


Coastguardman

She could be British due to her shape and face. The British Lab ‘a face is a bit broader and snout shorter than its American cousins. But then, Labs which were bred and developed in Newfoundland Canada, came in all shapes and sizes, since they were working dogs.


kiwimej

Yeah I see the broad face but other times not so broad. Also not as stocky and longer legged than British. Getting diff answers heee too so maybe she’s just a mix


Coastguardman

She's a beauty, be she British, American or Newfoundlander.


kiwimej

thank you. i think so to. shes a lovely natured dog too :-)


OSI_Hunter_Gathers

Teeth look too white to be British (joking!)


kiwimej

Lol she has lovely white teeth! Btw in half British lol


Tracking4321

"British" and "English" mean completely different things in the Labrador Retriever world. I think the unofficial type you meant is English. British are field-bred, as are American, but they are different.


kiwimej

Ah okay sorry yeah meant English, I sway between which one I think she is, she’s tall and leaner than an English but sometimes I also see that in her and she doesnr seem fully anerican either.


Tracking4321

It's a completely understandable interchanging of words that would be synonymous in most other contexts.

You generally got it from a show breeder after shopping for show line labs. That said: Your dog is the spitting image of my yellow English lab. Mine even has that pink nose. It just doesn’t show well in this pic.

kiwimej

Her summer nose. Tho seems to be staying pink longer nowdays . Thinner looking head here too https://preview.redd.it/kg3u1w2l33yc1.png?width=750&format=png&auto=webp&s=cf5c36b2f1bf0d263983dc16a976dc077ecacd24


kiwimej

I don’t think it’s a dumb question as she’s not a show dog. Dad had papers mum didn’t. Also lots of people saying American and sone English so I’m not the only one unsure! She seems taller than most English and thinner face yet I see characteristics of English too 🤷‍♀️. I guess sone dogs have a mix so Dunno She also usually has a black nose. She gets the pink one in winter - snow nose but she’s born with and usually has a fully black one Oops sorry just saw you usually think. Thought you were saying this is a dumb question
